Al Gore was brainstorming his campaign
strategy with Bill Clinton at a Georgetown restaurant when the waitress came to take their
order. Gore ordered a salad and water, and Bill Clinton studied the menu for a second.
Then he looked up, smiled, and said, "I'll have a quickie."
The waitress was offended. "Mr.
President," she said, "Considering all that your wife went through last year
with Monica Lewinsky, I think that that's in particularly poor taste." She stomped
away to cry.
Al Gore leaned over to Clinton, looked at
his menu, and whispered, "Uh, Bill, I think that's pronounced 'quiche.' "
